Choice overload can lead to decision deadlock. Whether you’re trying to decide what kind of car to buy or what color to paint your wall, the overwhelming number of options make it challenging to make a decision.
Studies show endless options can take a toll on our mental health. Fortunately, these seven strategies can simplify your decision-making process and prevent you from experiencing regret that you made the wrong choice.
Some of the things I share are:
“The more choices you have, the less likely you are to make any choice at all.” – Amy Morin
“Studies show that too many options can leave us feeling mentally exhausted, reducing our likelihood to take action.” – Amy Morin
“Having too many choices is agonizing if you don’t know how to narrow down your options.” – Amy Morin
“Our brains need an incubation period to make the best choice.” – Amy Morin
“Your happiness in life has very little to do with a single choice that you made.” – Amy Morin
